An interesting question to me is, "while 1% of Delta Skymiles members are diamonds, what % of PASSENGERS are diamonds? Surely it would be significantly more than 1% because Diamonds fly more."
these are interesting and even fun questions but there is essentially zero evidence that they're good questions for job interviews as they have basically zero predictive value when it comes to predicting job performance.
